2011 Ford Super duty 6.2 3.73 tow 10k+?
Hi everyone, My wife and I bought a toyhauler and are looking to upgrade our truck. We have a 09 f250 crew cab short bed with the 5.4 and 4.10 gears. It pulled our former 27 ft travel trailer well ...

With my 2011 F-250 SRW Crew Cab 3:73 I tow a 35ft TT with an unloaded dry weight of around 8500 lbs. Fully loaded (we have every cupboard and storage area full of stuff, DW takes everything) it would easily reach 10,000lbs. I tows remarkable well and the 6 speed tranny is excellent in tow haul or not and does run in 6th on the flats. Have towed thousands of miles. There is an upshift/downshift button on the shifter but I only use it to down shift as an engine brake. Just ordered the exact same configuration in a 2014.
I appreciate you sharing your experience. Did you find it pulled better if you locked out 6th and only used 1-5? Is the lockout feature available on all trim levels or only the ones with the fancy lariat screen (that's mostly what they show in the pics online) did running in 5th have any effect on mpg when towing at highway speeds?
